I was surprised at how empty it was today.
I suppose the reasons are:
1. Expensive ticket - should have done a tenner, five for kids and it would have been fuller
2. Christmas coming, people are saving to buy their horrible offspring undeserved sh#t
3. Last few homegames with big crowds have been underwhelming performances

It was a pretty dire game from both sides I think Westfield had more in attendance when I popped in there at about 1pm
20 quid to much money this time of year in my opinion, hardly a category A game was it

Last few homegames with big crowds have been underwhelming performances FFS Ling (who was on the bench today it seems) I sort of know what you mean but I don't buy into all the reasons why our crowd is so bad.
1. perhaps £20 is a bit much but let's face it that just equates to a round of drinks for your mates or a couple for you and a big Mac. 2.The older members of our crowd would go come to the game come hell or high water but fans nowadays find any excuse not to go! 3.Brings me back to a previous thread about the O's just not being convincing enough(playing good football consistently)to drag fans away from their warm house to go to a team that might not be at their best.Fickle at the very least. But as lexi O said previously we are only little Leyton Orient -------------but you have to accept this is all we will ever be as long as we play in Leyton.But perhaps that's not a bad thing.

I bet if we had drawn a big club at Home in the 3rd round Today tickets would be like rocking horse s**t |

I'm sorry bigron but money doesn't bother me.If someone offered me £1ooo to go to work next week I wouldn't do it!I would rather go to the O's. |

Both clubs have to agree on the entrance fee so the price may have been more down to Walsall than us.
I guess we will never find out.

I'd have been there but had booked a trip away when I hadn't realised why we didn't (at time of booking) have a home fixture that weekend.
Instead I spent the match in an overpriced hotel bar trying to find creative ways to follow the match on my phone .... before returning to dependable twitter.
If I'd been home I would have gone.
